Amy Kalinowski is the new pastry chef at Michael's Genuine Food & Drink

Replacing the LA-bound Hedy Goldsmith as Pastry Chef at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink is MGFD veteran Amy Kalinowski, who worked under Goldsmith as pastry assistant during the restaurant’s nascent days in 2008.

“We are incredibly excited to have Amy back,” says Michael Schwartz. “She lights up the kitchen with her smile and brings her infectious enthusiasm, passion and creativity to our pastry program. I know she will shine in this lead role!”
